Nineteen61

Delicious! I have Celiac disease and they were very knowledgeable of gluten in the menu as well as what would have risk of cross contamination while the food was prepared. There were lots of gluten free menu options with little to no changes. Zach, our server, was very friendly and helpful throughout the meal with wine pairing recommendations as well as help making sure my food was safe for me to eat.

Eat here. You won’t regret it. In a world where dietary restrictions can often pose challenges, Nineteen61 sets a remarkable example of how exceptional service and culinary expertise can create a truly inclusive and delicious gluten free dining experience. I may not recall all the staff members' names, but I would like to commend Tamaria at the front of the house for her patience in answering my questions and putting my mind at ease when I called to make a reservation, and our waiter Tim for his professionalism and wit which certainly added to the enjoyment of the evening out with old friends. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We took our son to Nineteen 61 for his birthday. Madison was our server, and we want to give special thanks to her for her assistance throughout the meal. Our son is gluten-, egg-, and dairy-intolerant, and she knew which menu items were safe and which were problematic. She was also very helpful with menu choices for the rest of us - cheerful, friendly, informative, while remaining professional. We started with some appetizers: I enjoyed the Pulpo 61 - octopus served in a great complementary sauce with fingerling potato slices. The others had the Brussels sprouts (tossed in maple balsamic vinaigrette, and topped with raisin caramel and manchego cheese), and the Chips with avocado mousse & tomatillo salsa (excellent). We all enjoyed the appetizers and then moved on to the main courses. I had one of the day's specials - a New York Strip steak, "gaucho style". Wonderfully flavorful and nicely seasoned, it was a large steak (no bone), so my son wound up taking half home for his dinner the next night. I also had a small "1961 salad" which was a very nice salad with cheeses (manchego and baby swiss), manzanilla olives, and the signature house dressing (like a slightly thicker vinaigrette). Two of our party had the Seabass Chimi - wood grilled with house chimichurri plus caribbean sweet potatoes). They loved the texture and flavor of the fish (and the potatoes). One had the Churrasco steak - a marinated flat iron steak with sides. All our meals came with one or two sides, and there was more than enough food for everyone. The restaurant had no desserts that were gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free (no surprise there!). We had checked the previous day, so we earlier went to Mimi's and got some great ice creams (yes - gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free ice creams - delicious). So - unfortunately, we skipped dessert at Nineteen 61 and went back to our hotel for a birthday dessert party. Overall - a great experience at the restaurant, and another shout-out to our server, Madison, who really made this an exceptional experience.
